If we could get Lionel messi up top and Ronaldo in just behind or on wing I think we’ve got this league sewn up.. To be fair I’ve just fixed it so I got em on champ manager and I still finished fourth, west brom won the league so what do I know

Tough team and tough team but from what I’ve heard we earned the win today. Palace have been tough since Pulis took over so 3-0 away to them is a good result. 67% possession and 3 goals, it shows we can play different styles and still win. I hope we add the bodies we need in Jan to push for European places as this team can achieve it!!

It sucks that I missed the match but really glad we won! Our 5th away win of the season already, and a clean sheet 🙂 It’s all good, the players are doing great, Pardew is doing great with his tactics and subs and we look more solid and comfortable on the pitch compared to last season.

We are grabbing 3 points in games we would have lost or drawn in the past, that bodes extremely well for the future.

What would make this Christmas extra sweet would be to bolster our team with a couple of quality signings. I still feel we lack that extra bit of class especially from the bench, compared to our rivals for top 6.

If we manage to get those signings in this winter, who knows how high we can go, one thing is for sure, it’s definitely exciting! 😀

Ps. I would like to see us replace Obertan as he’s just not good enough.

Marveaux has to be promoted on to the bench at least. Gourcuff would be a useful signing as we could do with a bit more creativity in midfield. Gomis will definitely come in but we could do with 2 strikers.

as much as I would love to see ben arfa back into the starting line up I think we would be best suited into bringing back shola into the stoke game since tiote will be suspended for that one and revert back to 4-4-2.

Come on now, Lukaku will be 1st choice at Chelsea next year and if not will not be sold unless big big money is spent. Don’t get me wrong if we spent even £20+ million on good players i’d be over joy’d but some players are out of reach.

Why do people on here insist on promoting HBA to a right sided role and moving Sissoko? The right side has been as solid as a rock for about 6-7 games now. If he is to come back in, surely as it’s as a straight replacement for Tiote, and the the middle 3 rotating to suit!

Rotonda That it was mate, there were some great attacking moves today,

Debuchy has to be hands down one of if not the best RB in the league, the speed the lad gets up and down the pitch is amazing!

Sissoko was a monster again

Cabaye was simply superb, his passing was top notch and in all honest could of walked off the pitch with at least 4 goals!

Goofy grafted his @rse off again, great player!

Tiote and Anita bullied and bossed the middle of the park with some great quick passing

Willo, absolutely solid, the amount of work his does off the ball is brilliant!

Colo, fair play to him he had a great game today Remy, not as lively as I expected him to be, looks a bit jaded, but did not realise how fast that boy was!

HBA came on with a point to prove and about bloody time! He looked great, still yet to be convinced he should be starting think he makes a great impact sub but a few more showings like that he’ll be back in the squad

Shola came on looked good, looked sharp and it was a brilliant turn to get away from the first defender and draw the penalty from parr, only surprise was he didn’t take it!

The only downside’s today for me were Krul and Santon, I’ve been a huge defender of Santon but he was poor today, perhaps he just needs a rest but a couple from haidara will push him on Krul had some very nervy moments in what was a pretty easy afternoon, although I do think the weather played a part in that

Let’s not carried away to the point that 8th place is a poor finish. Many of you predicted a bottom half finish this season so 8th place would be a good season.

I still think we could do with another striker to ensure we stay in the top 8. Someone like Shola but who also poses a goal threat please.

Would be great to challenge the European spots but I think City, Arsenal and Chelsea have much better squads. Spurs do on paper too but they need them to gel, Liverpool have a comparable squad but Suarez makes them significantly better. Man Utd have RvP and Rooney who are both top class, but apart from them I think we’re stronger. Still, they could seriously strengthen in Jan. I think we’re a similar overall strength to Everton and we’re both having good seasons.

So 8th and best of the rest would be decent, but I’d like us to finish above at least one of those teams please. 🙂

Good game, good result. I thought Cabaye was MOM. We should play this formation more often. Cabaye can create so much more when he has Tiote and Anita behind him, just what we need. Debuchy and Sissoko: what a right wing we have! Now, if we can get a little bit more out of the left flank, we can start thinking of giving Cisse another chance or play Gouffran as a striker.

health update

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and completed four months of chemotherapy in late July and will continue to have hormone treatment.

The cancer spread in the bones, but after having a number of CATscans last Friday the cancer has been stabilized and as of April 24th, 2018 it has not spread further.

There is no cure for Stage 4 cancer so I will continue to have CATscans and bone scans about every four months to check on the cancer.

It is as it is - I will do my best under the circumstances - it's another challenge.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
